By working with a CLP partner organisation, our Career Placement Mentees learn new skills from experienced staff, gain training in office and field working environments, and develop their conservation networks. Completion of the Career Placement boosts Mentees’ marketability in the conservation workplace.
Career placements are developed to specifically meet the learning needs and interests of individual applicants and their host organisations. Supervisors provide mentoring to orient Mentees to the organisation and help them achieve learning targets. Mentees gain membership to the CLP Alumni Network with access to mentors, professional development opportunities and funding. Career Placement opportunities are developed by each of the partner organisations. CLP does not solicit or accept applications from the general public.
Career Placement candidates are:
- early in their conservation career
- committed to pursuing conservation as a career
- not already employed by a CLP partner organisation
